Winter BD Card

Fun to make a birthday card in the midst of holiday crafting. I had a gift certificate to spend for Impression Obsession & as soon as I saw the new Three Trees Background die I knew it needed to come to my house--haha! Fortunately it wasn't out of stock too long & here's my first card using it. I honestly didn't think about how many little pieces there would be, but using my metal adapter plate worked great using 65# cardstock. I blended Distress Inks pine needles, faded jeans & dusty concord onto a scrap for a day time background. The IO sentiment, A6977, is stamped in Memento Nautical Blue.

I covered the words with micropore tape before spraying with adhesive & covering with prisma glitter. I was afraid the small font of the sentiment would get lost if it was glittered. I'm entering the cool colors challenge at Impression Obsession as well as The Playground, SSS Monday, & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
